Recorded Jan 1984/85. DSD mastering from original Analogue Master.

AllMusic:
Miles Davis’ final Columbia recording (other than Aura which was released several years later) includes his straightforward ballad interpretations of Cyndy Lauper’s “Time After Time” & the Michael Jackson-associated “Human Nature,” 2 songs he would play in most of his concerts for the remainder of his life. Other tunes (including “You’re Under Arrest,” “One Phone Call” & “Ms. Morrisine”) were quickly discarded. In addition to Davis (who had regained his earlier chops) tenor-saxophonist Bob Berg, guitarist John Scofield & guest John McLaughlin get in a few decent solos on this competent, but not overly memorable effort.
~ Scott Yanow

The 2nd SACD title from Miles’s 1980s repertoire. The sleeve information contains a couple of inaccuracies. 1st, the version of “Something’s On Your Mind” was recorded in December 1984 & not 22 September 1984, when a demo version was recorded. Also, Gil Evans did not arrange “Time After Time.”

———————————————————–

You’re Under Arrest marks the beginning of the last phase of Miles Davis’ lengthy career. With this album he finally lays to rest the free rock jams that served him so well from the early 70s on & becomes a sophisticated & worldly purveyor of his own unique brand of pop/jazz. Although this album may seem like a commercial sell-out, in many ways Miles is returning to the days when he could bring a tear to people’s eyes with his quirky & ironic, yet sentimental versions of My Funny Valentine & Porgy & Bess, only now he is playing hits by Michael Jackson & Cyndi Lauper, plus a few popish instrumentals he wrote himself.

After a pointless incidental album opener Miles heads straight into Human Nature, a beautiful pop ballad by Michael Jackson. Miles’ version does the original justice & his trumpet playing is sweet & melancholic as he stays true to the innocent nature of Michael’s original recording. This is followed by 2 nice pop-jazz instrumentals that find Miles mixing popular 80s influences such as Prince & Weather Report. This is pop-jazz with a unique & personal flavor & has nothing to do with the sort of pabulum served up by the likes of Kenny G.

Side 2 opens with Katia, a world beat influenced fusion number with poly-synth horn stabs galore that mines a sound & style that was also popular with Weather Report at the time. Katia also features some great guitar work from John McLaughlin who returns to work with his old boss 1 more time. Next up is Miles’ version of Cyndi Lauper’s sentimental ballad, Time After Time. Once again Miles plays it straight & delivers a direct & unflinching version of Cyndi’s bittersweet tune. I saw Miles perform this song in concert just a few months before his death. At that point in his career the song had been slowed down & spaced out to the point of being some sort of mystical connection to the beyond. Davis’ trumpet would hang on to, & stretch, every note & when the 2 main chords that announce the chorus slowly rolled by they were like massive tsunami waves of emotion. I wish I had a recording of that concert because people were so moved during the performance that many spontaneously yelled out to him during the tense quiet moments. So much for people who felt Miles was a sell-out for recording pop tunes. The rest of side 2 is taken with another funky world beat fusion number, You’re Under Arrest, which features great guitar work from John Schofield.

The 80s was a hard time for Miles, at the beginning of the decade he returned to his hard jazz-rock roots from the 70s, but soon wore that approach out on Decoy. You’re Under Arrest is an improvement as Miles begins to turn to sophisticated pop & modernized world beat to break from the past & create a more mature & elegant music to take him through his last days.
